last week i received a letter from women's weekly i won a prize... RM100 worth of makeup items and another RM100 worth of free makeup... so i went to ESG yesterday to collect the items and to my surprise... i got these...

a 5.3 ml tinted moisturizer spf 20 (which i think 2 kali guna dah habis..) and a 1.2 g of mineral eye powder… giler kecik ok... according to the SA, both priced at RM100. i felt so kena cheated... shah kata this is how they do marketing… cehhh... and then i was asked to set a date for the free makeup before 31 dec 2010. well, i passed coz hati dah panas by just looking at those little items i got...

ok next…

on the way home from ESG, i asked shah to buy 2 drinks so i can get 2 stamps and left 2 more stamps before i can get the organizer… but thanks to him, i dont know what he did, he managed to get all stamped and he came back with my long waited gorgeous organizer… woot… woot… i guess it's xmas eh...

few months back, i requested from my boss a bb for myself. he said he will need to get approval from our hq office. as months passed, no news about it so i told myself that if there is no news about it in dec, i might just get one myself… maybe it will not be a bb but an ip.

only last month, when i was at home (on EL as aira was having fever), my boss text me… xxx has approved your bb torch… aha.. what a great news!!! thank you very much…

the next day, i went to maxis dealer center at sacc to check on the bb but no stock. they had to order, so i placed a booking fee and in 2 weeks time, they will let me know. after almost 2 weeks with no news, i called and s**t happen la kannn…

1– i called asking for E, the girl who served me when i placed my booking but she was not around. i was asked to call back in 30 mins.

2- 30 mins later, i called again and E was still not around. so i left a message for E to return my call. this time the girl answered my call was soooo mannerless ok.. geram tul…

3- 2 hours later… no return call so i called and finally spoke to E (… and i assumed my message was never passed to E). E told me they still do not have stock and i will need to wait for another 2 weeks… arghhhh…!!! rasa macam nak jerit je.. i told her to cancel and return my booking fee…

i called another dealer in sj and surprisingly… they have stock.. duhhhh… wasted 2 bloody weeks for nothing…

is about a man who will not leave the world, till death do us apart… and that was my one and only tok bah and his wives.

tok bah was my maternal grandfather, who had 4 wives, two of them divorced (that include arwah my grandmother), they remarried and had their own families. having 4 grandmothers, it’s no surprise to see how the stems on my family tree continue to grow (referring to my geni.com) and become complex. i have uncles and aunties who are related to me but they are not related to each other, i see all round of close relatives, distance relatives and even relatives who are totally strangers to me. confusing eh.. well, i’m not going into that. all i know they are related to me.

now.. my grandmothers’ story… my 1st step grandmother passed away long time ago, i cant remember when coz i was not close to her and i didnt attend her funeral (i wonder why.. maybe i was away studying…?? ). followed by my 4th step grandmother in Aug 2009. two months later in Oct 2009, my grandmother (she was his 2nd, ex-wife) passed away and recently in Sept 2010, my 3rd step grandmother.

and now.. as i was told, tok bah started having mild stroke about 10 years ago but became worse 6 years then and bedridden. it was really heart wrenching watching him each time i visited him at his abode. although he cant move and talk, sometimes i see tears falling on his face and i knew he can hear. and despite his condition, he lived long enough, as if to let his wives and ex-wives go before him.

last tuesday, Nov 30, 2010, tok bah left us at age of 95. as much as i want to remember him, i will not keep the memories of him being sick when he was with us but always be remembered as who he was 30 years ago in his most affectionate manner to his wives, his children and his grandchildren… tok bah, you will be greatly missed… as much as i missed arwah mummy each and every day..
